MARTINS FERRY.

John Beacon left yesterday morning FOL
Cleveland, to be gone several days.
Henry Floto was in New Brighton, Pa,
on business, yesterday.
Barney Mullen died at his home in
PaulPs addition, on Wednesday, at $50
D. m. The remains will BE- buried in Mt.
/ Calvary cemetery this afternoon. Mr..
Mullen has been seriously i'll for several
weeks, and his death was not unexpected.
| He leaves a large family, most OF the
members being grown to man and woman
! hood.
Frank Znk was in Steubenville on bust
ness yvs'ei day.
Two large size Campbell gas burners
have been put up at the city hall, one at
each entrance. They make brilliant light,
and are great improvement over the old
condition of things.
A meeting of the directors OF the Mar
tins Ferry stove works has been held and
it was unanimously directed to try and
induce the formation of company with q
capital of $3.50, 600 to take the old plant
aud bu Id pottery. The officers are al
ready in communication with capitalists
who are favorable to such an investment,
and the pottery will almost surely be a go.
A rise in the river is all that Is needed
now TO make acontinued run Of the Laugh
lin nail mill an assured thing. They have
heavy orders 10 be shipped by water to
points west.
There does not seem to be much con-
Germ among either manufacturers or work
men in the glass works about the impend-
ing trouble between the gathering boys
and the employers. Very little is said
about it, and of course very little is known.
So far, however, is appear TO amount to
but very little.
Mrs. John Braningan and family re-
moved to New Brighton, Pa, yesterday,
where Mr.. BraniDgan is employed in the
Ditbridge Flint Glass Works.
1t is reported that Mr.. S. c. Dunlevy
aud Mr. Harry NOrthwood, who recently
severed their connection with the LaBelle,
will arraDgesfor the formation of a COM
pany to run the Union glass works on
line OF ware similar to that made by the
Dithridge Company, when they had the
plant Mr. Dunlevy has been connected
with the LaBelle for years in the capacity
of travelling salesman, and has covered
their trade entirely, including probably
every glass buyer IN the United States
Mr.. NorthwOOd comes by his ability rs
glass maker and mixer through the family
by that name 10 England, where the North
woods are head and shoulders above all
othef scientific glass makers. Such 4
combination as this, backed by reasons-
Bile supply OF capital, which they have
already arranged for, will make firm
which can hold its own in any market, and
under all circumstances. Let them come,
and Martins Ferry will welcome them
with open arms.
There Is much righteous and just com
plaint in the Standard addition about the
scarcity OF water The public we'll is dry,
and all efforts OF the pumP-hxer to bring
water from dry well are unavailing. The
people are denied the privilege Of getting
water from the wells NJ the two mills, and
a water famine is imminent. There must
be something done TO furnish water for
that district. The most plausible plan
proposed is to dig the public well deeper,
or for the city to arrange with some OF the
people who have private wells 20 throw
them open II the public.
1t seems that the plumbers take excep-
tons TO an iteu which appeared 10 the
REGISTER concerning the surface water
pipe connections. The plumbers claim
that nothing but heavy pipe tested to 1900
pounds TO the square inch has been used,
and that il il safe for double the pressure
to be applied 1t is also claimed tina; the
trustees can not hinder man from using
any kind of reasonable safe pipe inside his
own premises. 4 meeting Of the trustees
was held, but no plumbers were suspended
or license revoked.
Mrs. Robert Gabitt leaves to-day for
New Brighton, Pa.
Mrs. Laura Young is the guest OF Mr..
Frank Dennis, of New Brighton, Pa.
